Description
Summary:The subject of this book continues to attract serious medical attention. Ovarian hyperstimulation was a problem from before the days of in vitro fertilization (IVF), when it was noted by an Israeli group among their patients being stimulated for ovulation induction. It also emerged when IVF created the need to apply ovarian stimulation to produce, say, 10 mature oocytes for fertilization in vitro. Today, the condition is well known and heavily researched as it spreads with every practising IVF centre, where there is a constant need to produce a medium number of follicles per patient. Unfortunately, as originally discovered in laboratory animals, there is a very weak correlation between the dose of gonadotrophins and the number of ovulated oocytes, indicating that unknown numbers of follicles may begin their growth and expansion. Numerous attempts have been made to introduce useful therapies for this condition, and these are effective to varying degrees of efficiency.
